Review of Straight Outta Compton (2015) by Hotfromcauldron — 29 Aug 2015
Straight Outta Compton makes ghetto starz into star wars. NWA makes poetry of poverty and prejudice. Music bio pic makes more by focusing on supreme break-up rather than the usual rise to fame detoured by drugs.
Jason Mitchell makes Eazy E a shoo-in for an oscar nom. Paul Giamatti makes mince meat of the manager/mentor again, first with the Beach Boys and now, with the boys of the hood. This movie makes the family tree of rap biz - as powerful and intriguing as the mafia.
